You are unnecessarily taking a very unambiguous observation on a philosophical level. The mask you wear does give hints about your personality as a whole, but it's still a malicious delusion.

Look, I'm not trying to achieve world peace here, so I do not have the intentions of writing a freaking novel about this issue. I just felt that this needed to be said because I do believe injustice was done here. If you don't agree with my point, whatever. But if you wish to discuss that with me, don't come with evasive arguements as if you actually know shit, and actually come up with arguements that I can work with. If I am wrong in my opinion, prove it. If you don't care, stay silent.

I have read Victor's posts for a very long time. I've understood most of them and feel I have a pretty fair and objective opinion built up about him over time. And what I perceive here is him being a victim of pointless bullying. And that happens like every month or so, not just by you. If anything, I admire Victor for not just closing the browser and never ever putting up with the likes of you again. But all attempts to discredit him have been assumptious and ungrounded. If you don't like him, that's fine. You can't like everyone in your life. I don't either. You don't have to like anyone for all I care. I'm fine with that. But if I see anyone trying to discredit someone in ways that seem completely ungrounded to me. I have an urge to step in. That's who I am.

Saying my view on this is philosophical and malicious however does very much concern me and if you have -any- arguement or reason to back up your claim on that, I suggest you start making your point. I've pondered about this issue quite a lot, and strongly feel my opinion is not pulled right out of the air.

I don't claim to know you, and therefor I doubt you know me, so purely judging from these two posts here and that fact, I don't think I'd be far off in saying that you're way to quick to judge, and pretty much full of BS. (And the irony in that sentence was intentional.)

Edit: Also, don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to come up for Victor. I'm just doing what I feel is right. He has no say in that as much as I have any say in his actions. I don't care how he feels about this. I care how I feel about it.

Victor writes in a style that makes people think he might be fake. It's inherent to the style of writing. Some people will think he is, some people won't. He did offer his skype for anyone to interact with him, that probably would give a better idea of which he is. The problem is that if you think he is "fake" you might not want to interact with him on skype.

I think he's fake, you think he's not, that's all. I didn't say or do anything that would make it necessary for you to play Captain Justice. If he wants to defend himself, get it on.

You accused him of being fake, you didn't say you believe he might be fake. To the reader there is a -huge- difference there, it wields an entirely different impact and came make the world of difference between hurting someone or trying to intellectually argue with someone.

I see I was right about you as well, on both accusations. Still on the evasive behaviour. And way too quick to judge.

Either way, that's as much as I will indulge your 'try again'. As far as I'm concerned this discussion is done with, if you still disagree, for the sake of the forum. Take it up to me personally. These posts will already probably be graveyarded, no need to make even more for the mods to move in a discussion that is clearly between you and me, not relating to this topic.

For what it's worth, Victor typed himself as an INFP and is living up to that fully on this thread and others. The fiercely individualistic part in a clearly emotional way and defending this individuality with fuzzy logic fits.

Victor, please don't go there - makes you an easy target. You don't understand culture from the above statement or the concept of identity for any given member on the forum being made up of multiple cultures. The assumption of a single cultural influence for any of us is a false start.

It reminds me of your State Department that started a war in the Middle East and no one could speak Arabic.

Pot calling kettle black? As I recall, Australia happily sent troops in to support the U.S. Shall we associate you with your foreign affairs ministry?

That's the flavor I'm getting and it sucks. I'd like strawberry instead please and it better have real strawberries. None of that stuff with artificial flavoring!

Agreed.

FW - are you trying to add another tangent to this thread with the above -- type FW as a a flavor of F?

I think despite the silliness, there are some really interesting questions raised here.

1. What is culture or identity in the context of an online identity?
2. How do we measure or determine how guarded or open one is on an online forum?
Should it measured by the level of personal detail one is willing to offer?
Does a higher level of personal detail imply a greater level of sincerity in reflecting one's RL views/opinions?
Does the anonymity that is offered to us here (it is a choice, you know at both ends ) provide us a safe space to present our views/opinions openly in a way that the personal details would inhibit us in real life?
3. Finally, why should this matter at all? Most of us are here because the conversations are interesting and we're learning something. Why should the choice made by the person regarding the level of detail they share affect the interaction? Precisely because it's an international forum, distance and details become less important than more. When we don't present our views as tied to particular contexts, we allow people to see us for us - not tied to stereotypical images of the environments in which we reside. More similarities and differences based on personality type - after all, isn't that what brings us here?

I did not act out of sympathy. But just out of the typical INTP, admittedly subjective, sense of justice. I do keep an open mind, but bs arguements aren't going to sway my view. Did it for me, not for Victor.
